Picture of the week
Here I am officially starting my picture of the week. Yesterday we had the most beautiful Painted Bunting visit our feeders. He was a hard one to get a good photo of. He is the most colorful bird of the U.S. I've heard. His back is lime green, belly bright orange, head bluish purple and a different green on his wings. It's a real joy to see one. Although the books say they are common, around here they are not. Here he is in the best photos I could get.

Those are such gorgeous birds. We don't get them out here where I live. Beautiful!
Nice shots, Carla....his colours remind me a little of our Aussie Rainbow Lorikeets.

Nice pictures Carla.
We had a painted bunting at our bird bath a few years ago. I had to look it up in my book because I had never seen one before or since. They are beautiful.

Lovely, colorful bird, and how nice that he posed so well for you! We don't see them here in Maryland.
Carla, I love your bird posts. You are such a fascinating woman. I laughed when you said I looked good in a dress - I did when I was 20! Now I am like you, a circus tent with a head - still wear them though! Laugh clowns laung! E
Carla, he is gorgeous! I try to take photos of our back yard visitors but rarely do they pose long enough for me to get the camera! Good job on photographing such a beauty and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful bird! Love all the bright colors on him.
What a beautiful bird. Such bright colours.
